The Comunidad Nueva Alianza Wins World Bank Rural Productivity Award 

by Catherine Laine
July 2nd, 2006

Here is an email that we received from our colleague in Guatemala, Matthew Rudolf. He was a principal on the biodiesel project at the Finca. It is in Spanish. My apologies. The gist of it is that the Comunidad Nueva Alianza won the World Bank Rural Productivity Award for 2006 (a 10,000 USD prize). The World Bank initiave began in 2002 alongside the Development Marketplace competitive grant program.

 

The video that our AIDG volunteers helped shoot and edit this fall played a small part in the win. Yay Team. We are very proud and impressed by the community’s accomplishment. Check out the movie to learn more about the community. It’s a huge file at the moment. A whopping 47MB, unfortunately. We’re working on getting it compressed further.

Con muchisimo orgullo y felicidad les cuento que el miercoles pasado La Comunidad Nueva Alianza recibió las noticias de que ha ganado el 2006 Premio de Productividad Rural en el pais de Guatemala. Acabó de placticar con Javier Jimenez, el Secretario General y Representante legal de la comunidad y estan celebrando ahora en Reu. Es un reconocimiento muy grande y yo sé que muchos de ustedes han echado su tiempo y sus manos ahi. De ganar este premio no es solomente es un reconocimiento del trabajo de los que viven en Nueva Alianza sino a todos nosotros que hemos echado una mano y contribuido en su desarrollo. Es un reconocimiento para todos que han sido una parte de la comunidad.

 

 

Saludos,
Mateo
